For this cross-sectional study, participants who were atypical to the presented NPO were recruited online (n = 98). The research materials included information about international NPOs and a questionnaire that measured organizational morality, organizational competence, empathy, and collectivism of the individual, as well as general willingness to help and willingness to donate money to the organization. Multiple regression analyses showed that general willingness to help is predicted by organizational morality and the individual’s empathy. It has also been shown that empathy and general willingness to help have a direct effect on willingness to donate money to an NPO. Mediation regression analysis supported the hypotheses that empathy and organizational morality indirectly influence willingness to donate via willingness to help. Finally, practical recommendations for NPOs, as well as strengths, limitations, and implications of this online study were discussed.Show less

The study had a cross-sectional survey design and employees with chronic mental and/or physical health issues were recruited for research participation (N = 137). A first multiple regression analysis showed that among health-impaired employees work stress and general distress relate directly and positively to work functioning problems, and that health- related occupational self-efficacy and general occupational self-efficacy do not significantly relate directly and negatively to work functioning problems. Furthermore, a series of multiple regression analyses showed that for health-impaired employees a) organizational inclusiveness relates directly and negatively to health-related stigmatization when controlling for age and gender, and that b) health-related stigmatization is a direct and positive predictor of work stress and general distress, and only a direct and negative predictor of health-related occupational self-efficacy. Hereafter, mediation regression analyses only showed that health- related stigmatization relates indirectly to work functioning problems via work stress as a mediator, and that organizational inclusiveness relates indirectly to work stress and general distress via such health-related stigmatization as a mediator. Finally, the moderation regression analyses showed no influence of preparedness-coping and educating-coping on the association between health-related stigmatization and outcomes. The theoretical and practical implications, and the strengths and limitations and suggestions for future research, of the current study are discussed.Show less

De rol van competentie van de organisatie en de communicatie van de sociale identiteitswaarde, persoonlijkheid en ervaren aantrekkelijkheid van de organisatie wordt onderzocht. Dit onderzoek had een tussen proefpersonen factorieel design (competentie van de organisatie groep, communicatie van de sociale identiteit waarde groep versus controlegroep). De deelnemers van dit onderzoek waren jonge mannen die atypisch zijn voor de organisatie (N = 68). Er zijn ANOVA’s gedaan en het bleek dat de manipulatie van competentie van de organisatie niet geslaagd was terwijl de manipulatie van sociale identiteitswaarde wel succesvol was. ANOVA liet zien dat er geen direct effect was van de communicatie van de waarde van sociale identiteit op de aantrekkelijkheid van de organisatie. Multipele regressieanalyse liet een direct effect van de competentie van de organisatie op de aantrekkelijkheid van de organisatie zien, en geen direct effect van empathie op donatiebereidheid, en geen direct effect van morele identiteit op donatiebereidheid. Multipele regressieanalyse toonde een direct effect van de aantrekkelijkheid van de organisatie op donatiebereidheid. Mediatie regressieanalyse toonde aan dat communicatie van de sociale identiteitswaarde geen indirecte relatie heeft met de bereidheid om geld te doneren via de aantrekkelijkheid van de organisatie en dat de competentie van de organisatie wel een indirecte relatie heeft met de bereidheid om geld te doneren via de aantrekkelijkheid van de organisatie. Moderatie regressieanalyse toonde aan dat zowel empathie als morele identiteit de relatie tussen competentie van de organisatie en aantrekkelijkheid van de organisatie niet versterkt. Theoretische en praktische implicaties worden besproken, ook beperkingen en suggesties voor verder onderzoek worden besproken.Show less

This study had a cross-sectional design with 98 participants (N= 98) who were atypical to the organizations that were presented to them. The first multiple regression analysis showed that organizational morality and organizational sociability, while controlling age and gender, relate directly and positively to willingness to help the non-profit organization. The second multiple regression analysis showed that individual empathic concern, but not individual empathic perspective taking and individual altruism, relate directly and positively to willingness to help the organization while controlling the age and gender. The third multiple regression analysis showed that individual empathy (empathic concern and empathic perspective taking), but not individual altruism, while controlling age and gender, relate directly and positively to willingness to donate money. The mediation analyses showed that organizational morality, organizational sociability and individual empathic concern relate indirectly and positively to willingness to donate money to non-profit organizations via willingness to help as mediator. The moderation analyses showed that individual empathic concern and individual empathic perspective taking do not significantly strengthen the association between sociability and predicting willingness to help the organization. The third moderation analysis showed that individual altruism does not significantly strengthen the association between organizational morality and willingness to help. These findings suggest that organizational morality, organizational sociability, individual empathy, but not individual altruism, have an effect on willingness to donate money to nonprofit organizations among people who are atypical to the organization. Theoretical and practical implications; strengths and limitations; and suggestions for new research are discussed.Show less
